I'm hesitant about making it finessable.

if they're all considered masterwork then could you get a double masterwork?

Seems good, yo!
Just an aside... hey! Y'know, I've got numerous sketches of weapons like that! Almost exactly the-bloody-same!
Hmm, you sure it's just eight pounds?

No, every single yami-sabre is already masterwork, there is no non-masterwork Yami-sabre
And as for finessable I agree, I forgot to consider that when Balancing it.
exotic = +1 point
- crit mod = +1 point
+2 crit range = -2 points
Finessable = -1 point

I was originaly put it at around 14-16lbs (Longspear + scimitar)
But then since I thought it was a "artistic, finessable weapon" I imagine it to be preety light wieght.

I think that, probably, if you knocked it down to 1D8 Damage as a Medium Sized Weapon it would be balanced.

Pretty similar stat-wise to the 'elven courtsword' from Races of the Wild, only heavier. I think the costs are even comparable (though there exists such a thing as non-masterwork courtswords). Oh, and not a reach weapon. I don't know how unbalancing allowing Finesse is (I can't imagine it's -too- terrible), but it seems to be about on par with other, similar weapons apart from that. And I think the added cost, as well as being exotic (and let's not forget two-handed), makes up for it.

That's true, the Elven Courtblade is almost statistically the same. According to the Custom Weapon Builder (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31817), it would come in at:
Damage 1D10 = +5.5
Critical Multiplier = +3.0
Finessable = +0.5
Reach = +1.0
For a total of 10.0 Points, which is reasonable. Elven Court Blades are 9.5; if you bring it down to 1D8 Damage it would be 9.0.
